<p>I was a non-finalist. In early December, I decided to forward my application for the heck of it. Only now have I realized how poor the essays are. The essays I have submitted with the common app are much stronger, but I am not applying to many non-questbridge schools. I understand that it was stupid for me to have forwarded quest bridge as a non-finalist. Is there any way I can get colleges to ignore my poor quest bridge essays? Do any schools ignore quest bridge forwardings from non-finalists? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>They use the QB application as a supplement to their application. If it is the only information they receive from you, then it will obviously be how they decide. But if you submit additional info (common app for example), then I believe the school will look at the CA before looking at the QB app. The QB is just additional.</p>
